Heat oil over medium heat in a large nonstick saucepan. Add onion and garlic, reduce heat to low, and cook until softened, about 7 minutes.

Add broccoli, salt, and a pinch of pepper; stir well to coat. Add broth and lemon juice; bring to a simmer. Partially cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer gently until broccoli is very tender, about 25 minutes.

Transfer soup to a blender and purée, in batches if necessary, or use a hand blender. Serve hot, garnished with a small broccoli floret, if desired.
